ASH TRAY.

Application filed February 25, 1926. Serial N0.'90,614.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in smokers devices, and particularly to ash trays} One object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which is simple in construction, and which can be manufactured at a low cost.

Another object is to provide a device of this character which may be attached to the arm of a chair, the edge of a table, the dashboard of an automobile, or any other place where the device might be useiul and convenient to the smoker.

Another object is to provide a device of this character which may be easily swung into the desired position, or may be quickly and easily removed for emptying.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of an ash tray made in accordance with the present invention, and shown as applied to the arm of a chair. I

Figure 2 is a vertical transverse sectional view on the line 2-2 of Figure 1.'

Figure 3 is a vertical longitudinal central sectional view on the line 33 of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a top plan view of the device removed from the arm of the chair.

Figure 5 is a perspective View of a modified form of attaching plate, which is especially adapted for attachment to an automobile instrnment-board, or any other Vertical surface.

Referring particularly to the accompanying drawing, 10 represents a metal plate of suitable dimensions, and having its longer edge portions bent inwardly and upwardly toward each other, as shown at 11, said plate being provided with openings 12, for receiv ing fastening means, whereby said plate may be secured to a suitable support, as the lower face of the chair arm 13, illustrated in the drawing, or to a table, automobile instrument-board, or the like. The plate shown in Figure 5, is more especially adapted for attachment to an instrument-board, as will be .later described herein. The tray supporting arm 14 which is substantially L-shaped is provided, at the end of its shorter portion, with a disk 15 which is slidably and rotatably disposed between the body of the plate 10 and the inturned side portions thereof,

whereby said arm is capable of being, moved longitudinally of the plate, or swung sidewise, said latter movement permitting the arm to be moved into and out of position beneath the chair arm, as will be'clearly un metal body 17, one end 18, of which forms,

the receptacle for ashes, while the other, or smaller end 19,lias its upper wall depressed to form the longitudinal cigar or cigarette receiving grooves 20. The end of the recep tacle portion, adjacent the grooved portion, is open, to permit ready introduction of ashes thereinto. By standing the tray on its larger end, and then turning the tray completely over, and tilting the same with its larger end uppermost, the .ashes may be easily and quickly dumped therefrom. In the lower side of the tray there is formed a conical socket 21, in which is received the before-mentioned conical end 16, of the'supporting arm, whereby said tra may be rotated into any position deslred by the smoker.

It will thus be seen that the tray is capable of being swung into and out of position beneath the arm of the chair, and also slipped back out of the way, when not in use.

In the form of base plate shown in Figure 5, there is a wing 22 extending from one of the longer sides of the plate 23, said wing being disposed at any suitable angle whereby to dispose the body of the plate in an approximately horizontal position. The wing is provided with openings 24 for fastening devices by means of which it may be secured to the face of the instrument-board of an automobile, the arm 14, and tray 17 being engaged therewith in the same manner as hereinbefore described. The upper edge of the mouth of the receptacle porthe purpose of causing the ashes to fall into ing on one end a receptacle for ashes and on the other end a rest for cigars and the like, said receptacle opening toward said rest.

'2. An ash tray comprising a base, an L- shaped member having a long arm and a short arm, the short arm being provided with a disk slidablyand rotatably held by said base and having its long armterminally upturned, and an ash receptacle and cigar support havin a socket 1n its lower side receiving saic upturned end, whereby said receptacle .is rotatably mounted on the arm and adapted for ready removal therefrom.

An ash receiver comprising a substantially L-shaped member including relatively long and short arms and having means for slidable and rotatable attachment to a support, the long arm being terminally formedwith an upturned tapering portion provided with a disk at its base, and a tray comprising an elongated member having a receptacle onone end and opening in the direction of the other end, an inclined cigar supporting chute at the other end of the tray leading into the open end of the receptacle, the intermediate portion of the bottom of the tray being formed with a tapered socket receiving said tapering upturned portion whereby the tray is rotatably and readily removably supported on the arm.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
